Since time constants can be set by the ratio of capacitors, very accurate filter responses became possible using switched capacitor techniques Æ Mixed-Signal Design was born! Switched Capacitor Building Blocks • Capacitors: poly-poly, MiM, metal sandwich & finger caps • Switches: NMOS, PMOS, T-gate • Op Amps: at first all NMOS designs, now CMOS Non-Overlapping Clocks • Non-overlapping clocks are used to insure that one set of switches turns off before the next set turns on, so that charge only flows where intended.

Printed Circuit Board Mount Switches Shock Proof • Waterproof • Explosion
shock proof • waterproof • explosion proof Printed Circuit Board Mount Switches These versatile switches are a great choice for many applications due to their small size and variety of connection styles. Although these switches are built to connect to a printed circuit board, they can also be retrotted for nearly any application by connecting wire leads. These switches can sense a pressure ranging from 6 inches of water all the way up to 65 PSI. For a frame of reference, a trumpet player blows 55 inches of water (or 2 PSI) on average, so these switches have a broad range. They can also be used to sense a vacuum ranging between 6 inches of water to 65 inches of water. Therefore, these miniature single pole and double pole switches are used as pressure, vacuum, or dierential pressure switches where moderate accuracy is sucient. Presair switches deliver critical benefits: CSPSSGA - PC Mount Switch SAFE: Presair switches deliver complete electrical isolation with zero voltage at the actuator to shock the user or spark an explosion. 1”x1”x1.5” ECONOMICAL:Presair’s switching system costs are comparable or lower than digital controls meeting the needs of original equipment manufacturers. ACCURATE: All switches are 100% tested to meet 100,000+ cycle life. General Specification: RATING: 1 amp resistive 250 VAC Ratings are dependent on actuation pressure and must be derated at lower pressures. APPROVAL: UL Recognized, CUL Recognized. File #E80254 MATERIAL: Lower body: Rynite w/ pin terminals molded Upper body: Acetal Diaphram material is dependent on application. PRESSURE RANGE: When used as a pressure or vacuum switch the actuation point must be factory set.

What Is a Neutral Earthing Resistor?
Fact Sheet What is a Neutral Earthing Resistor? The earthing system plays a very important role in an electrical network. For network operators and end users, avoiding damage to equipment, providing a safe operating environment for personnel and continuity of supply are major drivers behind implementing reliable fault mitigation schemes. What is a Neutral Earthing Resistor? A widely utilised approach to managing fault currents is the installation of neutral earthing resistors (NERs). NERs, sometimes called Neutral Grounding Resistors, are used in an AC distribution networks to limit transient overvoltages that flow through the neutral point of a transformer or generator to a safe value during a fault event. Generally connected between ground and neutral of transformers, NERs reduce the fault currents to a maximum pre-determined value that avoids a network shutdown and damage to equipment, yet allows sufficient flow of fault current to activate protection devices to locate and clear the fault. NERs must absorb and dissipate a huge amount of energy for the duration of the fault event without exceeding temperature limitations as defined in IEEE32 standards. Therefore the design and selection of an NER is highly important to ensure equipment and personnel safety as well as continuity of supply. Power Transformer Motor Supply NER Fault Current Neutral Earthin Resistor Nov 2015 Page 1 Fact Sheet The importance of neutral grounding Fault current and transient over-voltage events can be costly in terms of network availability, equipment costs and compromised safety. Interruption of electricity supply, considerable damage to equipment at the fault point, premature ageing of equipment at other points on the system and a heightened safety risk to personnel are all possible consequences of fault situations.

Introduction How Circuit Protection Devices Work?
Introduction Adding extra strain to any person or object can be a recipe for disaster. This is especially the case for electrical circuits. When they’re tasked with carrying more current than they were designed to handle, the added burden can lead to detrimental and dangerous circumstances. Not only could overloading your circuits damage or destroy your sensitive electronic equipment, but it could also generate extra heat in wires that weren’t meant to carry the load. If this happens, it can cause a fire in a matter of seconds. This is where an overcurrent protection device, such as a fused disconnect switch or a circuit breaker, comes in. Though they serve a similar purpose, these two components each have a unique design. Today, we’re sharing how they work and how to choose the right one for your project. Ready to learn more? Let’s dive in. How Circuit Protection Devices Work? The field of circuit protection technology is vast, designed to prevent circuits from risks associated with overvoltage, overcurrent, reverse-bias, electrostatic-discharge (ESD) and overtemperature events. Such risks include: • High-voltage transients • Capacitive coupling • Inductive kickback • Ground faults • High inrush currents From your smartphone battery to your steering wheel, these components are necessary to ensure safe and reliable electronics. While they all serve a valuable purpose, we’re delving deeper today into the specific field of overcurrent protection. Overcurrent protection devices are designed to disconnect or open a circuit quickly in the event that an overload or short-circuit occurs. This helps to mitigate any damage to the connected equipment and can also reduce the risk of electrical fires.

Chau Received: 01 February 2017; Accepted: 08 March 2017; Published: 13 March 2017 Abstract: Measurement errors of a capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) are relevant to its equivalent parameters for which its capacitive divider contributes the most. In daily operation, dielectric aging, moisture, dielectric breakdown, etc., it will exert mixing effects on a capacitive divider’s insulation characteristics, leading to fluctuation in equivalent parameters which result in the measurement error. This paper proposes an equivalent circuit model to represent a CVT which incorporates insulation characteristics of a capacitive divider. After software simulation and laboratory experiments, the relationship between measurement errors and insulation parameters is obtained. It indicates that variation of insulation parameters in a CVT will cause a reasonable measurement error. From field tests and calculation, equivalent capacitance mainly affects magnitude error, while dielectric loss mainly affects phase error. As capacitance changes 0.2%, magnitude error can reach −0.2%. As dielectric loss factor changes 0.2%, phase error can reach 5′.
